Spending lower in any daily fantasy lineup is a way to incorporate some diversity into your lineup. In NHL DFS, there is typically more value in this strategy but also a good deal more risk.

Thursday night presents the first big slate of the DFS NHL season. Let's take a look at what values we may find.
Nick Schmaltz, Center, Arizona Coyotes
FanDuel Salary: $3,700
While most people are looking elsewhere, Nick Schmaltz and the Arizona Coyotes are at home against the San Jose Sharks.
